India's most affordable outdoor PIR motion sensor with a 12-metre detection range, IP65 waterproof rating, and 1200W load capacity — just ₹997. Compare that to the IRIS W15 (₹3,000) or IFITech IP65 (₹1,650) with the same specs. The Quick Sense QS-13 is designed and assembled in India, supports 220-240V AC, and works equally well wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted for outdoor security lighting, driveway automation, garage entry, garden lighting, factory perimeters, and parking lots.

Why the QS-13 Beats Other Outdoor PIR Sensors in India

Outdoor motion sensors face two challenges: weather and range. Most ₹500-₹800 sensors are rated IP44 (splash resistant only) and detect motion only up to 6 metres. The QS-13 is IP65-rated (dust-tight and protected against water jets), built to handle monsoon rains, dust storms, and -20°C to +40°C temperatures. The 12-metre detection range means one sensor covers your entire driveway, garden, or parking bay — no need to install multiple units.

7 Use Cases — Where the QS-13 Pays for Itself

• OUTDOOR SECURITY LIGHTING: Lights up the moment someone enters your property. Deters intruders, illuminates the path for genuine visitors.
• DRIVEWAY / GARAGE ENTRY: Lights turn on the moment your car enters the driveway. No fumbling for keys in the dark.
• GARDEN / BACKYARD: Wildlife visits, security walks, late evening gardening — all automatically lit.
• GATE / PERIMETER: Mount at your gate to light up the approach. 12-metre range covers most apartment-block gates.
• STAIRCASE EXTERIOR / FIRE EXIT: Required for many commercial buildings; saves manual switching.
• FACTORY / WAREHOUSE PERIMETER: Light entire loading bays or factory borders with motion-triggered floodlights.
• PETROL STATIONS / PARKING LOTS: Energy-efficient lighting that runs only when needed. Owners report 50-70% electricity savings.

Installation — 5 Steps, 15 Minutes

1. SAFETY: Switch OFF the main MCB before starting. This is mains voltage — if not comfortable, hire a qualified electrician (₹300-500 typical charge).
2. POSITION: Choose a wall or ceiling spot 1.8-2.5 metres above ground. For driveways/gardens, mount facing the area you want to cover.
3. MOUNT: Drill holes and install the bracket using included screws. The IP65 gasket goes between the bracket and wall — don't skip this.
4. WIRE: Connect using the colour code: BROWN to Live, BLUE to Neutral, YELLOW to the light Load. Tighten all terminals.
5. CONFIGURE: Adjust the 3 rotary knobs — TIME (delay 10s-15min), SENS (sensitivity), LUX (day/night threshold). Snap the cover on, restore power, walk into detection zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the QS-13 truly waterproof for outdoor monsoon installation?

Yes — IP65 means it's dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. Tested for Indian monsoon conditions. However, avoid direct submersion in standing water (that would require IP67/IP68).

What's the difference between QS-13 and QS-09 wall mount sensors?

QS-09 is IP44 (indoor or light splash only), 10s-7min delay. QS-13 is IP65 (full outdoor weatherproof) with extended 15-minute delay — better for areas where you want lights to stay on longer (like driveways).

Can I cover my entire driveway with one QS-13?

Yes — the 12-metre detection range and 180° angle covers approximately 90 square metres of area. Most Indian residential driveways (5-8 metres long, 3-4 metres wide) are fully covered by one unit mounted at the entrance.

Will it work with LED floodlights?

Yes — fully compatible with LED floodlights up to 300W total load. For higher LED loads, use multiple QS-13 units or pair with a contactor relay.

How do I install on an external wall?

The QS-13 includes a wall-mount bracket. Drill 3 holes, insert wall plugs, screw in the bracket with the IP65 gasket between bracket and wall. Run wiring through the gland. 15-minute job for an electrician.

Can it trigger from cars driving past on the road?

Adjust the sensitivity (SENS knob) to lower setting to reduce range and prevent false triggers from distant cars. Or aim the sensor downward toward your property only.

Is there a bulk discount for housing societies or builders?

Yes.
